Bali bombing suspect Umar Patek extradited to Indonesia

One of the alleged masterminds of the 2002 Bali bombings has arrived in Indonesia after being extradited from Pakistan, officials in Jakarta say.

Umar Patek, who was arrested in January in the same part of Pakistan where Osama Bin Laden was killed, is expected to be charged with murder.

Mr Patek is accused of helping to make the bombs that killed 202 people, many of them foreigners, on the island.

He is said to be the only major suspect who has not been killed or arrested.

'Significant coup'

Mr Patek has been linked with the militant group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which was blamed for the attacks.

He is believed to have worked closely with the attack's organiser, Dulmatin, who was killed by Indonesian police last year.

Mr Patek was also reportedly involved in at least three other attacks in Indonesia - and said to have links with militant groups in the southern Philippines and al-Qaeda members in other parts of Asia.

The BBC's Karishma Vaswani in Jakarta says the extradition is being seen as a significant coup for the anti-terror agencies in the country.
